We usually have to savor any day over 80 around here. This stretch of 90s - 100s accompanied by good wind has the splits thinking about resplitting themselves and the tomatoes ripening a lot earlier than I have seen before.

Sweet. I'm thinking I should have bought a bigger freezer.

Better hurry, clean livin has been good to me. I swapped bagels and chips for beans, zucs, peas, beets, cukes and zucs and have lost 20 pounds since July 1st.
Oooo, that's just nasty weather in my book. About 80, just enough heat to break a slight sweat, is perfect weather to me. I'm not a big fan of clothing. I like to feel the whispering breezes on my skin. :coolgrin:SolarAndWood said:I'm with you on those 50 degree days. That and those perfect blue sky days in the teens/low 20s are my favorite.

I'm good with that as long as I am on a slalom ski being pulled along by one of my friends power boats ;-)

Here too. My wife is doing Ironman Lake Placid tomorrow. It's a good thing its in the Adirondacks. She called me from camp as I was leaving work the other day. My truck said 99 after I was rolling and she said it was 76 with no humidity there. I'm headed up now and looking forward to the high of 72 tomorrow.

The nice part of cutting in the winter is that you can remove clothing as your body starts to heat up. Of course you won’t loose too much clothing in late January and Februrary bit it is nice working with your sleeves rolled up and only a pair of light gloves. Don’t even have to slap any skeeters then or be concerned about finding a nest of yellow jackets.
Yeah, but it's not pretty outside. No leaves on the trees, just a bunch of dead-looking sticks standing there. I like greenery. I'll take the bugs to get the vibrant life of Summer. Yes, late Summer is the time when the chiggers are lurking in the grass, but there are hardly any mosquitoes here. I can sit out on the porch at night and maybe have to swat one here or there. When I lived in WI, those blood-sucking bastages would about carry you away.Backwoods Savage said:Woody Stover said:We put the 'maters in late, they're just starting to roll in now.

Not that odd, really. I'm with you on the "long view." Seeing a gorgeous sunset through the bare branches on a Winter day is beautiful. The contrast between the glowing sky and the dark branches makes the branches look so sharp and crisp. Hey, I'd better watch it before you have me wishing for Winter! :lol:Backwoods Savage said:For some odd reason, I still see the beauty of the woods during the months without leaf. For one thing, you can see much further.
